I was going through old emails the
other day and I stumbled over these words. So beautiful, so true... I have to
share them with you...
Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of
purpose, teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who you are or who you want
to become.
You never know who these people may
be (possibly your neighbour, professor, long lost friend, lover, or even a
complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very
moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometime things will happen to you
that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but in reflection you find
that, without overcoming these obstacles, you would have never realised your
true potential, strength, will power, or heart!
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost
moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of
your soul.
Without these small tests, whatever
they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to
nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people who you meet who affect
your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you
are and who you will become.
Even the bad experiences are learned
from. In fact, they are the most poignant ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or
breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and
the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back
unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are
teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make every day count. Appreciate
every moment and take from those moments everything you possibly can for you
may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people who you have never
talked to before and actually listen... break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself that you are a great
individual and believe in yourself. For if you don't believe in yourself, it
will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make your life anything you
wish...Create it and then go out and live it with absolutely NO REGRETS. Most
importantly, make sure your family and friends know that you love them, for you
NEVER know what tomorrow may have in store.
Today is the tomorrow you were worried
about yesterday.... Was it worth it?
